Introduction

Welcome to my Channel! My name is Jamaku, and today I will Show you how to design an eye-catching birthday flyer using Photoshop. This tutorial will cover various aspects of graphic design, including background removal, image blending, adding effects, and applying stylish text. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a unique and impressive birthday flyer ready to use.

Creating the File and Setting the Size

To start, open Photoshop and Create a new file by going to File > Create New (Ctrl + N). Set the Dimensions of your flyer in pixels, such as 1165 for the width and 1654 for the Height. Choose a resolution of 200 and click "Create" to create the file. This will be the canvas for your design.

Adding and Removing Backgrounds

Now, it's time to bring in the resources for your flyer design. Paste your desired images onto the canvas to start working with them. Duplicate the main image that you want to use and remove the background while preserving the floor or any other parts that should remain visible. To do this, right-click on the duplicated layer and select "Rasterize Layer." Then, go to "Properties" and use a quick action to remove the background. Allow Photoshop to perform its magic and remove the background for you.

Blending the Background Since some parts of the lower layer might be hidden due to the background removal, it's necessary to work on blending the background. Click on the lower layer, go to "Gradient" and add a layer mask. Adjust the gradient to blend the background smoothly and make the lower layer visible. This will create a seamless transition between the main image and the background.

Scaling and Adding Additional Images Now, it's time to bring in additional images to enhance your design. Scale and position these images as desired, making sure they complement the overall composition. Rasterize the layers, remove backgrounds if necessary, and blend them into the background using the same techniques mentioned earlier. Experiment with different images and arrangements to create a visually appealing design.

Adding Style and Effects

To make your birthday flyer stand out, it's important to add style and effects to your design. Start by selecting a captivating background image and Scale it to fit the canvas. Apply a blurring effect to the background using the "Blur" filter for a softer look. Next, add lights or lamps to add a touch of elegance to your flyer. Select a brush tool and paint around the design to create a beautiful Blend effect.

Now, let's focus on the text elements of your flyer. Use attractive fonts and colors to make the text pop. To create an interesting effect, use the ellipse tool to wrap your text around a circle or Shape. Simply select the ellipse tool, draw a circle, and start typing around it. Adjust the size and position of the text as desired. You can also play with different font styles and effects to achieve the desired look.

Apply drop shadows or other effects to make your text more visually appealing. Experiment with different settings to find the perfect balance between visibility and style. Additionally, you can add rectangles or gradients to create boxes for specific text sections. Apply gradients to these shapes to add depth and dimension to your design.

Finalizing the Design

Once you've added all the elements and effects to your design, it's time to finalize the look. Adjust the positions and sizes of the images, text, and other elements to create a well-balanced composition. Pay Attention to details and make sure everything is visually appealing.

To add some final touches, consider adding additional elements like decorative graphics or icons to enhance the overall design. Experiment with different placements and effects to achieve the desired look. Once you are satisfied with the design, save your flyer and prepare it for printing or digital distribution.
